Friday-Saturday snow threat evolving

FROM THE CAPITAL WEATHER GANG: What we're fairly confident of is that: 1) A storm center tracking eastward along the Gulf Coast during the day Friday will then track northeastward toward the North Carolina/South Carolina coast Friday night; 2) The cold air needed to support a mostly snow or all-snow event is likely to be in place both near the surface and higher up in the atmosphere; and 3) The timing for snow in D.C. and vicinity looks to be late Friday and Saturday.
